This is something I agree with you on!

The goal should be (in my opinion) to provide the content and tools in
such a way that users can be accommodated. In general users also have
some responsibility to know their assistive technology, to be willing to
learn new things, and to advocate for the realistic needs. What works
for one person won't work for another. Instead of having 100 different
versions of the same site the user needs to ability to specify the
preferences and have a site, user agent, and or assistive technology
render the content to them in an accessible manner based on their
preferences. The content needs to be structured in a manner that allows
for this.
